A lot of patients ask me about the differences with arthroplasty (cervical artificial disc) and spinal fusion; as well as how does the cervical artificial disc work. A few years ago, I was interviewed by Barbara Lewis on Sound Medicine. This segment titled, “New Artificial Cervical Discs”, can be heard by visiting this link. 

A few topics discussed during this interview included:

• Comparison of a spinal fusion to cervical artificial disc,
• More detailed information about the cervical artificial disc,
• Comparison of cervical artificial disc to artificial hip and knee,
•  The future of cervical artificial disc.
